The invention of the ox-drawn plough was a turning point in the #prehistory of #agriculture because it was the first time food production was decoupled from human labour (doi.org/10.15184/aqy.2019.105).

This is why, from Medieval Europe to the ancient Near East, farms were measured by the number of oxen (later horses etc.) working it, not people (doi.org/10.1002/9781118970959.…)

Yet it's surprisingly difficult to pinpoint when this actually happened.

The condition of fabrics from pile dwelling and wetland settlements is amazing. This charred ball of thread was found at the site of Marin-Epagnier/Préfargier. It was made of hemp or lime fibres, and dates about 3900 to 3300 BC. The thread measures a total of about 10 m in length.

An amber necklace dating back to approximately 420 AD, found in a grave of a Germanic woman in Schleitheim, Switzerland.
The woman, who died between the age of 25 to 29 years, was buried with various valuable possessions, including silver jewelry and glass beads, in addition to the amber necklace. The rich jewellery reflects her elevated social status.

Virologist Jean-Michel Claverie has spent over a decade studying "giant” viruses, including those nearly 50,000 years old found deep within Siberian permafrost — layers of frozen soil that are starting to thaw amid climate change. japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/10/… #worldnews #sciencehealth #science #viruses #paleontology #archaeology

Probing the permafrost that could release 50,000-year-old viruses

Discoveries by virologist Jean-Michel Claverie shine a light on a little-known risk of global warming as it thaws ground frozen for millenniums

Decided to be more active here, so let me reintroduce myself! I'm a zooarchaeologist researching #Farming and #Food of the past. I study animal and plant remains 🐐🌾, apply biochemical analyses 🧪, and want to use this knowledge of the past to contribute to #Sustainability today 🚜

Facebook isn't useless, it reminds me of corny things like this that I'm too embarrassed to share again there but that Mastodon might love. #corn #teosinte #maize #archaeology #archaeobotany #Indigenous
